< Genesis 14 >
1 At that time Amraphel was king of Shinar, and he allied himself with Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim.
Hiche phat laitah chun gal kinah kiboui na ana um'in, hiche a ana ki boui ho chu ahile Amraphel Babylon lengpa Ellasar Arioch lengpa, Elam Kedorlaomer lengpa, chule Tidal Goiim lengpa ahiuve.
2 They attacked Bera, king of Sodom, Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (otherwise known as Zoar).
Chule akidou piu ho chu Sodom gam lengpa Bera, Birsha Gomorrah lengpa, Shinab Admah lengpa, Shemeber Zeboiim lengpa, chule Bela lengpa (Zoar) kitipa ahiuve.
3 All these in the second group joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (the Dead Sea valley).
Hichea anunung'a leng ho hi Siddim phaicham twithi kol phaicham a apang un ahi.
4 They had been under the rule of Chedorlaomer for twelve years, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled against him.
Kumsom le kumni sung'a ama ho hi Kedorlaomer lengpa noiya ana kun jing'u ahin, amavang kum som le kum thum lhin kum'in adouvin ahung pang tauve.
5 In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer invaded, along with the kings in his alliance. They defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth-karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
Kum khat jou chun Kedorlaomer lengpa le ama pankhompi lengho chu ahung kon uvin, Rephaim mite chu Ashteroth-Karnaim achun ajou un, Zuzites mite chu Ham achun ajou un, Emim mite chu Shaveh-Kiriathaim achun anajou un,
6 and the Horites in their hill country of Seir, all the way to El-paran, near the desert.
Chule Horite mite chu amolsangu Seir apat gamthip lang gamgi Ei-Paran chan geiyin aga joupeh uvin ahi.
7 Then they swung back through and attacked En-mishpat (otherwise known as Kadesh) and conquered the whole country belonging to the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who lived in Hazazon-tamar.
Hichun amaho hikoma kon chun akinungle kit uvin Kadesh kiti, tuhin En-misphat achun Hazazontamar a cheng Amorites mite leh Amalekites mite chu agam sung pum pin ajou tauve.
8 Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (otherwise known as Zoar) marched out and prepared for battle in the Valley of Siddim.
Hichun leng phalou akiphin ho sese chu Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, chule Bela (Zoar kitipa) galkon din akigong un twipi-thi phaicham achun gal asat uvin,
9 They fought Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, Tidal, king of Goiim, Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar—four kings on one side against five on the other.
Elam gam lengpa Chedorlaomer le Goiim lengpa Tidal toh, Shinar lengpa Amraphel toh chule Ellasar lengpa Arioch chutoh akisat uvin, hicheng leng li ho chun leng nga ho chu anadou un ahi.
10 There were many tar pits in the Valley of Siddim, and as the defeated kings of Sodom and Gomorrah ran away, some of their men fell into them while the rest ran to the hills.
Amaho se gal akisat jou uchun Twipi-thi kol phaicham achun thih e meichang adim jengin ahi. Hichun Sodom lengpa le Gomorrah lengpa sepoi ho chu ajamdoh un, ama ho loi khat chu kotong sunga alut un, amaho lah a loikhat chu thing lhang lama ajam cheh tauve.
11 The invaders took from Sodom and Gomorrah all their possessions and food and left.
Gal hangsan mihat ho chun Sodom le Gomorrah alokhum un galman chah ho jouse chule neh le chah ho jouse akichom khomun ache tauve.
12 They also captured Lot, Abram's nephew, and his possessions, because he was living in Sodom.
Amaho chun Lot, Abram sopipa jong chu amanu vin Sodom a chengpa chu anei thil le agou jouse jong alah peh tauve.
13 But one of those captured escaped and went and told Abram the Hebrew what had happened. Abram was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, whose brothers were Eshcol and Aner. All of them were Abram's allies.
Hinlah Lot insung mite khat ana sohcha in, amapa chun Abram Hebrew mipa aga seipeh tai, hiche lai chun Abram chu Eshcol le Aner sopipa, Amorites mi Mamre gangpi thing phung vel dunga chun ana cheng nalaiye, amaho jong chu Abram toh ana pangkhom ahiuve.
14 When Abram found out that his nephew had been captured, he called together 318 fighting men who had been born in his household and chased after them all the way to Dan.
Hichun Abram in asopipa Lot kimat ajahdoh phat chun aman natoh tohgon ahin neitan, mihem ja thumle som le get phatah a galbol kithem chuhsa ama insunga peng cheh ahin lhengdoh in ama tah in alamkai yin amaho chu Kedarlaomer sepai ho chu Dan geiyin aga nungdel peh'in ahi.
15 There he divided his men into groups and attacked at night, defeating the enemy and chasing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.
Hichun Abram in amaho chu ahom khenin jankim laitah in abulu'un Kedarlaomer sepai ho chu ajam cheh tauve, Abram in amaho sepai ho chu gamla tah anojam'in Damascus khopi sah lang Hobah chan geiyin agadel peh-uvin ahi.
16 Abram recovered all that had been taken, including Lot and his possessions, and also brought back the women and others who had been captured.
Hiti chun Abram injong asopipa Lot jong, athilkeo chengse toh, numeiho ahiuvin mipi ahiuvin abonchan ahin nungpui soh tai.
17 When Abram returned after defeating Chedorlaomer and his allies, the king of Sodom came out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (or Valley of the King).
Abram chun Kedarlaomer chuleh apankhom pi leng ho aga jo a ahung kinungle lam chun Sodom lengpan Shaveh phaicham (Shaveh tichu lengpa phaicham tina ahi), achun alamto ding in ahunge.
18 Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought out bread and wine. He was a priest of the Most High God.
Hichun Melchizedek Salem lengpa chule Pathen thempu chung-nung pen a pang pan Abram chu lengpitwi chuleh chang-lhah ahin poh peh e.
19 He blessed Abram, telling him, “May Abram be blessed by the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth.
Melchizedek in Abram chu hiti hin phatthei aboh in hitin aseiye, “Van le leiset hin phutdoh a Pathen chungnung pen kom'a, Abram phattheiboh chang hen,
20 May the Most High God be praised, who handed your enemies over to you.” Then Abram gave Melchizedek one tenth of everything.
Chule na galte nangma khut lum'a lousah a, chungnung pen Pathen chu loupi hen,” ati. Chuin Abram in Melchizedek chu thil jousea kon in hopsom a hopkhat khat apesoh keiye.
21 The king of Sodom told Abram, “Let me have the people back, and you can keep everything else for yourself.”
Sodom lengpan Abram jah'a hitin aseiye, “Kanam mite na hentup ho chu nei nungpeh tan, amavang thilkeo ho chengse nang in na mat dohho vang chu nangma adin na kikoi theiye,” atile,
22 But Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I raise my hand, making a solemn promise to the Lord, the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth,
Abram in Sodom lengpa hitin adonbut in, “Van le leiset hin phutdoh Pakai Pathen chungnung pen koma kaki hahsel ahi tai,
23 that I refuse to take anything belonging to you, not a single thread or a sandal strap. Otherwise you might claim, ‘It was me who made Abram rich!’
Keiman patse jang khat cha hihen lang, kengchot khao jeng cha hijong leh nang thil kiti poupou khatcha kalah louhel ding ahi, nangman Abrham ka hao doh sah tai,” tia nasei thei louna ding in;
24 I won't take anything except what my men have eaten, and the share for those who accompanied me—Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them have their share.”
Ahin keiman ka lah ding chu gollhang hon aneh doh ule mihon ana nehchai hobou chu ahi, chule keiman ka dei lhen pentah chu ahile achen ding uva kilom thil le gouho chu kaloi ka mite Aner, Eshcol chule Mamre amaho petan.
